Stumpy, nice you got them recapped, but can you say who did the job in Australia?

As being a tech there's a max of $1000 for all ps caps and board caps, and a good day maybe 1.5 days labour.  


Cheers George

Thanks stevecham ,ebm and georgelofi, its always good to get reassurance. I love em, but I live in the tropics and air conditioning is a must
with these. If you have steel capped boots and a fork lift ,no worries

I had them recapped by Kimil Electronics in N.S.W. Australia [Sydney]
He had to source half of the capps from Singapore The freight cost me $500 each way  from Cairns to Sydney, [ about 3000 klms ]

Hey stevecham, I had a pair of Klipchorn corner horns for 15 years then sold them to our guitarist for $2000 more than I paid for them [ they were 15000 then] I then went to Theil 3.6,s I always found them harsh or edgy. maybe it was the Krell kma 400,s. I traded them up to Usher B.E 20,s and coupled 2 N.H.T. twin 12 inch subs to them.   sounds to good for my tired old ears. Jesus how did 45 years of music just vanish. Maybe there is music in heaven
